Homunculus Undiscovers America

Unraveling at daybreak
a destination spouted off
into watery doldrums.

Then a lunatic appeared
with many truths
to debunk the beads.

Blasphemy,

said the saddest man
in the hold. Who said
anything about landfall?

All the harder to rest
one's head there in October
for lack of better antipodes.

And it still hurts like hell

not to be there even now,
so young, beyond the pale
of accusations.

David Rock teaches Spanish and international studies at Brigham Young University, Idaho. He has poems appearing in The Carolina Quarterly, New American Writing, Sugar House Review, Tampa Review, Image, Guernica, Hotel Amerika, etc.
